Model Forum / General / Models / November 2007WWII German Tank Crew Weapons - Any?
want to do a 1/35 diorama with a disabled German tank captured by either a British tank or infantry in North Africa. I wanted to lay out all the equipment the Brits would have found in and on the tank. Did crews carry sidearms, rifles, etc? What would we find in a German tank in Africa? thx - Craig As a rule tank crews are not what one could call heavily armed. Most of them would have a pistol and perhaps a few folding submachine guns. Figure the Germans would have a few Lugers or P-38s and perhaps one or two MP-38 or MP-40s. (US crews would have Colt .45s and M3A1 grease guns after the early part of the war; up to that point is was the Thompson and the M3 even had provision for something like 15 50-round drums, but apparently it was issued with clips instead.)

Craig you WILL like them comrade! Take a look at "Signal" if you could find a copy and the women there are pretty tame -- Gretel the waitress waiting for her Hans to come home on leave with three personal tank destruction badges, etc. Even the Soviets had more shots of buxom blondes harvestng wheat in the Ukraine. As for the East Germans, their army magazine was "Armeerundschau" and it actually DID have reasonably attractiive cheesecake photos in the magazine, to include "skin!"
